If you’ve followed this stream at all you’ll be aware that the inner self flow has been a struggle for some months now. Recently I streamed a YouTube of K.D. Lang singing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. A sweet and deeply moving experience. After that, I found a Pema Chodron interview with her that also hooked in deeply. The following is a list of high lights that went deep. Isn’t it interesting that the stuff we need rolls along right at our feet? Yeah!

Practicing unconditional friendliness towards oneself.

What does your difficulty bring that guides you?

We are fundamentally good.

Touch yourself with kindness.

The less there is of me the happier I am, Leonard Cohen story.

Be in and of service whatever you do.

When things fall apart, find the treasure being offered in that moment.

Well just wow, it’s all in those thoughts and ideas, at least I can find it there.

Walking on in a new light. Service to others and kindness to self. Keeps the balance. Treasure indeed.

Oh yes, it’s the full moon as well. Big, fat, pulling the tides and lighting the night.

When I learned how to pull needle and thread as a child I could never have imagined the overwhelming joy that would come to me as a result. So many things in life are difficult and seem so full of struggle; we each have the opportunity to search our interior landscape for the places, occasions and activities that will lead us into true happiness and peace of mind. My current dance with Temari is filled with the sweetness of creative juices. Each new thread ball exciting and unique in design and color way. Discoveries stepping forward as the needle and thread show the way.
